Oh? Do you not blame the front office of a sports time for failing to win a championship or assembling a shitty team?



No, because resume fraud is very rare in sports. What is expected from an athlete is very clear. If they can't run x metres in y seconds then they are out. This is not so clear cut in software development, so yes, I don't blame management when they accidentally hire an incompetent, fraud developer.

Obviously it is a different story when management hires good developers but can't maintain a good workplace culture, apply unnecessary time pressure, don't pay them enough etc.
